ABOUT THE BOOK:
In 1926, Agatha Christie disappeared—making
headlines across the world—only to show up eleven days
later at a spa under an assumed name. During those eleven
days, did she have time to write a play?
Jordan Kelly needs a new job and a new place to live. She’s back in Harrison Falls, New York, living with her not so law-abiding uncles, in debt thanks to a credit card-stealing ex and pending grad school loans.
Enter the perfect job, a research position that includes room and board, which will allow her to spend her days hunting down rare mysteries for an avid book collector. There’s just one problem: her employer, Vera Van Alst—the most hated citizen of Harrison Falls.
Jordan’s first assignment is to track down a rumored Agatha Christie play. It seems easy enough, but Jordan soon finds out that her predecessor was killed while looking for it, and there is still someone out there willing to murder to keep the play out of Vera’s hands. Jordan’s new job is good...but is it worth her life?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Victoria Abbott is a collaboration between the always very
funny and creative artist, photographer and short story
author, Victoria Maffini and her mother, Mary Jane Maffini,
award-winning author of three mystery series and two dozen
short stories. Their four miniature dachshunds are
understandably outraged that a pug and some Siamese cats
have wiggled their way into the series. Please visit their website HERE to read the full "BIO" on this talented Mother and Daughter.
